Salon review: Head to Aldo Coppola for the Restore and Repair Spa Therapy

Aldo Coppola salon in London the answer post-holiday beauty problems

London based luxury hair and beauty spa Aldo Coppola, has introduced a bespoke Restore and Repair Spa Therapy treatment package designed to offer a much needed boost, to kick-start the new Autumn/Winter season. Whilst bronzed skin and lightened holiday hair can make you look and feel great, the UVA and UVB rays from the sun can wreak havoc, causing dehydrated skin, pigmentation and fine lines as well as frazzled, dry, unmanageable hair. Aldo Coppola’s expert hair and beauty team have now developed a winning combination of treatments to rescue sun-damaged locks and parched skin.

OK.co.uk popped in to their South Kensington salon for an all-over body exfoliation to slough away our dead skin cells from our summer breaks. Our therapist, Holly, used a Swiss Body Gommage treatment by cellcosmet, an intense yet gentle, body polishing and exfoliation treatment to rub down every inch of our body while we relaxed on comfy sheets in a dimly lit room. While nature-themed sounds softly played into the room, we were told the massaging technique would help stimulate circulation to help revive post-travel tired legs. After showering off the formula, which contained tiny plant cells, our skin was left smooth and glowing, ready to absorb the rich body hydrator applied directly afterwards. As we are prone to dry skin, Holly kindly applied an extra thick layer of the cream, which contains active stabilised bio-integral cells and teams up with the individual to respect their hormonal identity. The second part of the package focused on the eyes and face with Fusion Mesotherapy, a gentle and non-invasive treatment which gives instant results. Again using the cellcosmet range, our skin was firstly prepared with a thorough cleanse and massage. Using a purifying gel and cream cleanser, our makeup was removed before the Exfoliant Dual Action cleared my pores of impurities and blackheads. The pain-free machine then transmitted a topical lotion through radio frequency waves to the top layer of my skin around the eyes. Focussing on crow’s feet, wrinkles and dark circles, it increases the skin temperature, stimulating collagen production and skin tightening. The raised temperature also encourages the creams used to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. OK.co.uk then snoozed as we received a soothing shoulder and décolletage massage. Finally, to overhaul tired tresses and de-stress dehydrated locks, the treatment package finishes with a hair consultation to assess the condition of your hair from root to tip, and a bespoke Aldo Coppola hair rehydration and repair treatment. Whilst seated in a state-of-the art massage chair, complete with light therapy hood, a customised henna and deep conditioning masque is applied, followed by a blend of essential oils to compliment the hair masque and nourish the hair. The whole head is then massaged using a method unique to Aldo Coppola, followed by gentle hair pulling to stimulate growth. Hair is left feeling silky soft and looking noticeably healthier. The treatment is then followed by a blow-dry of your choice by one of the expert hair stylists. The whole treatment costs £195, takes between two to two and a half hours and will leave the hair, body and mind feeling refreshed and revitalized, ready for urban living.
